The 6HS5 regulator tube finally came. I installed it, and the new HV adjust pot (minus that resistor that was across the old one). The HV is now adjustable and I was able to set it to 25KV so I'm happy with that. Only thing now is the 750v boost is still too high at 903 volts. Not sure why, but it still has those white elemenco caps on the 750v, so I'll change them since I have them and see what happens.
The tube that was in there was a 6JD5, didn't notice that at first and have no idea if that was contributing to the unadjustable HV, or if it was just bad.
So far this set needed a good cleaning, a cap in the contrast circuit, a new focus stick, new resistor off the HV reg tube that was burnt, and HV reg tube. The HV cage was dirty, and cap on the rectifier tube had green corrosion and was causing sizzling in there.
The HV adjust pot and VDR may or may not have been bad but they're new, so all good there.
The tint is worse than before. I have the control all the way to one end and the flesh tones are still too red. It still needs the degaussing thermistor and the convergence is pretty bad, but it's working!
